A one-night passageway into David Lynch’s dream logic reimagined as a black, white, and red masquerade ball with a formalwear dress code. Each room of a private home was transformed into a setting from Twin Peaks, guiding guests toward a custom-built, hand-painted black and white chevron dance floor from the iconic Black Lodge.
No Mask, No Admission.

To enter the world of Fire Dance With Me, guests received a “lost” diary entry in the mail penned by Twin Peaks’ main character Laura Palmer. The envelope was stamped with a custom-made wax seal featuring a symbol from the show. Inside, along with the diary entry was a custom-wrapped chevron-patterned lighter. When recipeints held the flame behind the page, sections of the text vanished, revealing the party invitation and a URL to a hidden microsite with a moodboard and a second video invitation homage to the famous Twin Peaks opening credits.
